Well you should probably say more because I'm pretty sure you're going to get a Warning with what you've got...thejboy88 said:
OT: I'm not 100% sure what my FIRST video game was since I was almost certainly playing games before I could walk (I was born in 1986 and the NES was my first system).
It was almost certainly Super Mario Brothers just because I imagine my Dad, who owned the NES, would start me off on something a bit more kid friendly. I remember though playing Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Friday the 13th, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (fuck you Dam Level!!!), Godzilla, Duck Hunt, and likely a bunch of others that I can't think of right now.
Amazing how far we've come

Super Mario World on the SNES.
I would house sit for a family that had the game and me and my cousin would play it for hours, but because it wasn't our game we could never save. I loved that game, and later I got the gameboy advance remake Super Mario World Super Mario Advance 2.

Super Mario Bros. on the NES at the neighbor kid's house. I remember it being quite the accomplishment the first time I completed World 1-1.
Probably Enduro on my uncle's Atari. The first game I couldn't stop playing was Street Fighter II when I was about 8. I always chose Guile because of that haircut. Whenever I play some version of Street Fighter nowadays, I always go with Guile for nostalgia sake.
You know for a long time I thought it was Wolfenstein 3D, but now that I really really think about it. I'm almost positive that it was Samurai Shodown and Wolfenstein was just the first FPS I ever played. I used to play Shodown all the time while waiting for my swimming classes as a kid. God, Earthquake was such a pain in the ass for me and he was the first guy in the ladder heh. The furthest I would ever make it was to some guy wearing a mask who, I think, blew purple smoke as a special move.
Something on the Atari 2600, either Pac-Man, Asteroids, or Combat.
Those were the days. Red square versus blue square.

Duck Hunt.
I just can't remember if I was at Kiley's or the dentist, because both had it. (Coolest dentist ever).

The first "interactive interface" I "played" was Putt-Putt. Like... the little purple car.
The first VIDEO GAME I played through on my own was Donkey Kong Country for the SNES after watching my mom play it. I was... I dunno, four?
I wouldn't call Putt-Putt a game because it isn't really a game in the sense that other Humongous Games are such as Pajama Sam and Freddi Fish; there's no conflict, not really any puzzles (at least the one I played, Putt-Putt joins the parade) and this eerie cheerfulness that just envelops the whole place. It's creepy, now that I think about it.

Easy. Donkey Kong on the Intelevision. Fuck that stupid disc and phone-keypad-looking-thing controller right up it's electronic ass.

Sorry, I have a lot of old anger about that thing.

I'm pretty sure it was Smurf Rescue or something like that, on the Colecovision. It was at a friend's house. It seemed that Smurfs had an incredibly delicate constitution because everything you touched instantly killed you or knocked you over.
I was not impressed.
*edit* Even as a young kid my imagination got ahead of me. I remember fearing I would run into Azrael the cat. Never did get far enough to see if he/she was in the game.

It was something on the Commodore 64, I'm going to say "Hot Wheels" since that was really the only game I ever played on the Machine.
